BIOGRAPHY

Steve Cummings made a return to Team GB for Rio 2016, 12 years after taking team pursuit silver at Athens 2004 and eight years after his last appearance at Beijing 2008.

In later years, the Commonwealth Games gold medallist turned his focus to the road, winning his second Tour de France stage in 2016.

In 2017, a heavy crash in the Tour of the Basque County in Spain left him requiring surgery on a broken collarbone, scapula and sternum.

He marked a sensational recovery with victories in the road race and time trial at the National Road Race championships on the Isle of Man, while also claiming victory in Stage 1 of the Giro della Toscana.
